Spring's Tentative Arrival

WELL LOOKIE WHAT I got! 

Daffodil 'Tete-a-Tete' blooming for the second year in a container! 
It wasn't that many days ago that I was writing about... 

...this! 

And it wasn't long after that when the pristine whiteness of it all morphed into...

...this!  (Discarded snow piled in the corner of a parking lot.) 

But, lo and behold, underneath it was... 

 ...this! (Pulmonaria 'Reginald Kaye') 

And walking a little farther along the garden path was...

...this! (Helleborus 'Hot Flash')

Not too shabby, eh? I've noticed lots of things blooming around town too. Camellias, fruit trees, Magnolias, Azaleas... Spring is making a valiant effort to shoo away winter. 

A few days ago, I pulled into the parking lot of a store. Outside the front entrance was a display of  tantalizing offerings begging to get their picture taken. So I obliged. 

Gerbera Daisy with water drops.

A deeper-colored Gerbera

Luscious tulips just waiting to go home with me. 

English Daisies--some of the nicest I've seen.

And one more photo... just because nothing says spring like pretty flowers. 
I think it's time to celebrate spring! 
As always,
